Product Information
Full details
The Puig Front Wheel Buffer PHB19 is an essential safety upgrade for motorcycle enthusiasts who prioritize protection for their fork assemblies during accidental slides or low-speed tip-overs. Crafted from high-resistance nylon, these sliders are designed to absorb impact energy, effectively preventing costly damage to critical front-end components. While they provide robust, lightweight shielding, it is important to note that they are designed as a sacrificial component and should be inspected for wear or damage following any impact.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these sliders universal?
No, the PHB19 series is specific to certain axle configurations; ensure you select the correct model for your specific motorcycle make and year.
Do these affect front wheel handling?
At only 265 grams, the impact on unsprung weight is negligible and will not be perceptible in daily riding conditions.
Can I use these on the track?
Yes, they are highly recommended for track use as they help protect the bike during low-side incidents common in racing environments.
What material are the buffers made of?
They are manufactured from a high-resistance, durable nylon polymer designed to absorb energy and resist abrasion.
Do I need special tools for installation?
Standard motorcycle tools required for loosening and tightening the front axle are necessary, such as a torque wrench and proper hex keys.
Troubleshooting
Slider becomes loose after installation
Verify that the mounting hardware is torqued to the motorcycle manufacturer's recommended specifications and check that all spacers are properly seated.
Difficulty installing the buffer
Ensure that the specific axle diameter matches the PHB19 model requirements and that no aftermarket axle components are obstructing the mounting path.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight at 265 grams
- High-resistance nylon material protects against abrasion
- Effective at preventing fork damage during slides
- Minimalist design blends with existing bike aesthetics
Cons
- Sacrificial component that must be replaced after impact
- Does not protect against major, high-speed collisions
- Requires specific tool access to the axle assembly for installation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires access to the front wheel axle. Ensure your motorcycle is securely supported on a paddock stand before beginning. The buffer mounts directly to the axle assembly; follow the included manufacturer hardware specifications for torque values to ensure a secure fit without over-tightening the axle bolt. For care, simply wipe the nylon surface with a clean, damp cloth during routine wash cycles. Regularly inspect the buffers for cracks, deep gouges, or significant material loss, particularly after any track session or accidental contact with an obstacle. If the slider is heavily worn, it should be replaced immediately to ensure continued safety.
